As the title says, i need to buy a set of hydraulic roller lifters for my RB build, i'm installing a Trick flow camshaft purchased from 440 Source and they recommend Comp hydraulic rollers.

My engine builder would prefer i avoid Comp lifters even if they are hydraulic rollers. So far i'm leaning towards Hughes lifters.

Your results and recommendations are very appreciated

Comp hydraulic rollers are garbage. Had a friend with some in his BB Dart and they made lots of noise. Swapped to Howards.

We used Howards (Morel) and they have been flawless. 7,000 miles over 6 years and hundreds of dragstrip passes.

It's been long enough I honestly don't recall. I bought a lot of stuff from Competition Products but not sure that's where I bought these.

Edit: After looking at their website they show them but they are currently out of stock.

Competition Products shows them out of stock, but it's still worth a call as the two businesses are more or less together.

I have a set of BB hyd. roller lifters here from Scorpion that I got almost 10 years ago. Got them from Dan (DRAM) because he said they were good quality. I haven't used them so I can't speak on any personal experience.
